Not to be confused with Sarah the sorceress from Suikoden 3 (although they are both excellent magicians). Sarah is a maid who lived in Kirov at the time of the Gate Rune Wars. She looks like a gentle girl, but she speaks brashly, which often surprised people who do not know her. After the Gate Rune Wars, she was hired by Marie to work at her inn. She hates bed-making, but it is said that her cooking has improved drastically. Also, during the Dunan Unification War, she donated a Cyclone Rune to the Unification Army. She said that a fool gave it to her, but it isn't certain who that was. - Blue Moon
